Abstract Background Ectromelia virus, a member of the Orthopox genus, is the causative agent of the highly infectious mousepox disease. Previous studies have shown that different poxviruses induce...
Non-Markovian control of qubit thermodynamics by frequent quantum measurements (2009)
Bensky, Guy, Rao, D. D. Bhaktavatsala, Gordon, Goren, Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, David, Erez, Noam, Kurizki, Gershon
We explore the effects of frequent, impulsive quantum nondemolition measurements of the energy of two-level systems (TLS), alias qubits, in contact with a thermal bath. The resulting entropy and...
Path-Phase Information Complementarity for Interfering Particles through State-Discrimination (2009)
Erez, Noam, Jacobs, Daniel, Kurizki, Gershon
We analyze the trade-off between the amounts of information obtainable on complementary properties of a qubit state by simultaneous measurements. We consider a "state discrimination" scenario wherein...
Time and Ensemble Averages in Bohmian Mechanics (2008)
Yakir Aharonov, Noam Erez, Marlan O. Scully
We show that in the framework of one-dimensional Bohmian Quantum Mechanics [D. Bohm, Phys. Rev. 85, 166 and 180 (1952)], for a particle subject to a potential undergoing a weak adiabatic change, the...
Thermodynamical Control by Frequent Quantum Measurements (2008)
Erez, Noam, Gordon, Goren, Nest, Mathias, Kurizki, Gershon
Heat flow between a large ``bath'' and a smaller system brings them progressively closer to thermal equilibrium while increasing their entropy. Deviations from this trend are fluctuations involving a...
Planck, Photon Statistics, and Bose-Einstein Condensation (2007)
Greenberger, Daniel M., Erez, Noam, Scully, Marlan O., Svidzinsky, Anatoly A., Zubairy, M. Suhail
The interplay between optical and statistical physics is a rich and exciting field of study. Black body radiation was the first application of photon statistics, although it was initially treated as...
Universal dynamical decoherence control of noisy single-and multi-qubit systems (2007)
Gordon, Goren, Erez, Noam, Kurizki, Gershon
In this article we develop, step by step, the framework for universal dynamical control of two-level systems (TLS) or qubits experiencing amplitude- or phase-noise (AN or PN) due to coupling to a...
How to Measure the Nonlocal Phase of a Single Photon (2005)
The relative phase between spatially separated component waves of a single photon can be measured by joint interference with a second photon emitted by a known source. In the case of a single such...
Teleportation from a Projection Operator Point of View (2005)
The process of quantum state teleportation is described from the point of view of the properties of projections onto one-dimensional subspaces. It is introduced as a generalization of the remote...
Time and Ensemble Averages in Bohmian Mechanics (2004)
Aharonov, Yakir, Erez, Noam, Scully, Marlan O.
We show that in the framework of one-dimensional Bohmian Quantum Mechanics[1], for a particle subject to a potential undergoing a weak adiabatic change, the time averages of the particle's positions...
Bell's Theorem - Why Inequalities, Correlations? (2004)
It is shown that Bell's counterfactuals admit joint quasiprobability distributions (i.e. joint distributions exist, but may not be non-negative). A necessary and sufficient condition for the...
Quantum Error Correction in the Zeno Regime (2003)
Erez, Noam, Aharonov, Yakir, Reznik, Benni, Vaidman, Lev
In order to reduce errors, error correction codes (ECCs) need to be implemented fast. They can correct the errors corresponding to the first few orders in the Taylor expansion of the Hamiltonian of...
Correcting quantum errors with the Zeno effect (2003)
Noam Erez, Yakir Aharonov, Benni Reznik, Lev Vaidman
In order to reduce errors, error correction codes need to be implemented fast. They can correct the errors corresponding to the first few orders in the Taylor expansion of the time evolution operator...
Superoscillations and tunneling times (2001)
Aharonov, Yakir, Erez, Noam, Reznik, Benni
It is proposed that superoscillations play an important role in the interferences which give rise to superluminal effects. To exemplify that, we consider a toy model which allows for a wave packet to...
